Fall Discernment Retreat opportunity for young women!

We are excited to announce our annual discernment retreat for young women:"Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one, and come!” (Song of Songs 2:10). Single Catholic women, ages 18-35, who would like to take a weekend to pray about a possible vocation to the monastic or religious life, are invited to inquire about attending our upcoming discernment retreat, Thurs., Oct. 30 – Sun., Nov. 2, 2014. Come and experience our life of prayer, listen to talks on prayer and discernment, make use of the opportunity to get to know the nuns, and receive healing through the Mystery of Holy Repentance (Confession). In addition to talks from the sisters, there will also be an exciting talk on discernment from Fr. Michael Lee - and we will be celebrating Mother Theodora's Feast Day! If you are interested in this retreat, or a future retreat or discernment opportunity fill out our online Vocation Inquiry Form. Space is limited for the retreat, so be sure to fill out the form by October 17. Mother Theodora will call you to talk about availability. If you have already filled out the form, simply call Mother Theodora. With questions, call 440-834-0290 or email christthebridegroom@gmail.com.Click here to view the brochure!

O Women, * be the heralds of good news and tell what you saw; * tell of the vision and say to Sion: * "Accept the good news of joy from us, * the news that Christ has risen." *Exult and celebrate * and rejoice, O Jerusalem, * seeing Christ the King coming from the tomb * like a bridegroom."

"The monastery is the prophetic place where creation becomes praise of God and the precept of concretely lived charity becomes the ideal of human coexistence; it is where the human being seeks God without limitation or impediment, becoming a reference point for all people, bearing them in his heart and helping them to seek God."Pope John Paul II, Orientale Lumen (Light of the East)
